Chapter 29 The expulsion order has been issued .
Theres no chance for appeal .
Ken clutched the paper in his hands and suddenly crumpled to the ground , letting out a guttural cry of anguish .
It felt as though the entire world had turned against him .
Why … Why did this happen ? he muttered , his voice breaking .
Uncle Johnson stood nearby , his expression a mix of disappointment and sorrow .
Child , he said gently , wherever life takes you , learn to live it well .
He placed a hand on Kens shoulder .
Cherish what you have in front of you .
Cherish the people who care for you .
Dont wait until its too late and all youre left with is regret .
Tears streamed down Kens face as his fathers words sank in .
For the first time , he truly understood how foolish he had been .
Three years later , the satellite research base , where Calista worked , achieved a groundbreaking milestone .
The team successfully launched a new generation of satellites equipped with advanced electrical systems , marking an extraordinary achievement in space technology .
Cheers erupted across the base .
The team , overwhelmed with pride and joy , shed tears as they celebrated their shared success .
For that moment , nothing else mattered but the glory they had brought to their country .
After the initial success , the base granted everyone a one month vacation .
Calista and Henry returned to their family home , where warm embraces and fond memories awaited them .
Henrys parents welcomed Calista with open arms , their approval of her as their daughter in law unmistakable .
Henry has cared about you since you were kids , Henrys mother said with a fond smile .
And thank goodness he finally married you .
Henry , feeling embarrassed , scratched the back of his head .
Mom , lets not embarrass me in front of Calista .
Calista laughed , the lighthearted moment easing her .
But that night , as she stood in the hallway , her gaze lingered on the empty room next door .
She sighed , her thoughts drifting .
She had heard bits and pieces about Kens downfall during her My Pinet Love 92.29 % Chapter 29 return .
It saddened her to think of what had become of the Johnson family .
Later , as she lay in bed , Henry noticed her melancholy .
Whats on your mind ? he asked softly .
I want to visit Uncle Johnson , she replied .
He was kind to me for so many years .
I owe him that respect .
Henry nodded .
Thats the right thing to do .
Besides , your husband needs to pay his respects to his father in law too .
Calista shot him a playful glare .
Youre always so good with words .
The next morning , Henry bought a generous assortment of gifts , and the couple visited Uncle Johnson at his modest new home .
Uncle Johnson ! The older man was sitting in the yard , basking in the sun .
When he saw Calista , his eyes lit up with joy .
Calista , youre back ! he exclaimed , rising to greet her .
Henry followed close behind , beaming .
Dad , we brought a few things for you ! Uncle Johnson welcomed them inside , his gratitude and happiness evident .
As they settled in , Calistas eyes fell on a figure in the living room Ken .
The man before her was barely recognizable .
His once proud demeanor was replaced by a disheveled appearance , his beard unkempt , his eyes hollow .
Calista … Kens voice was hoarse , thick with unspoken emotion .
His gaze lingered on her , filled with regret .
Calista , calm and composed , smiled faintly.
Brother , long time no see .
The single word brother hit Ken like a wave , washing him back to the past .
His chest tightened as he noticed her rounded belly .
Youre … pregnant ? he asked hesitantly .
Calista nodded .
Yes , five months along.
Ken swallowed hard .
A thousand words swirled in his mind , but all he could manage was a faint , Congratulations .

Calista spoke animatedly about her work at the research base , her face glowing with happiness and fulfillment .
Ken sat quietly , watching her from afar .
She seemed so distant , as if she existed in a world he could no longer reach .
Before leaving , Calista discreetly handed Uncle Johnson an envelope filled with money .
Take care of yourself , she said softly .
As they walked to the door , Ken followed .
His voice trembled as he spoke .

Calista … She turned to look at him , her expression serene .
Tears welled in his eyes .
You should be happy , he whispered .
Calistas smile was gentle but firm .
Thank you .
I will .
With that , she stepped outside , hand in hand with Henry .
Ken watched her go , standing frozen at the door as her figure faded into the distance .
From that day forward , their paths never crossed again .
